We recently stayed in beautiful Franschhoek and spent one day visiting wineries. I can’t fault Boschendal on it’s beautiful gardens and historic manor house. The place is steeped in tradition and is a common attraction for visitors. When it comes to the wine tasting though, we found it very disappointing – from a list you choose which wines you want... more

Very disappointing I was looking forward to this as I enjoy wine and am a member of a wine club and do enjoy South African wine Very nice estate with a lot of history . On arrival we were first taken to a building where there were lots of vats, all totally empty so had to rely on guide talking... more

Well I exaggerate slightly because there are some very nice places for lunch in the town, but the Pique Nique is just the nicest packed lunch I have ever had. You hire an out-sized wicker basket which is packed with all sorts of lunch goodies stretching out over several courses together with proper napkins, glasses, crockery and cutlery. You can... more

We went to Waterford on a friend's recommendation, and loved it. The winery is gorgeous, and very different to all the Dutch colonial & French style vineyards around, it's more Tuscan in terms of architecture. One of the main reasons we liked Waterford is that it's a little off the beaten track (you have to drive down dirt roads to... more

What a nice place to have a picnic! It's a must-do if you go to Franschhoek. Remember to book in advance to make sure that it is not full. You get your own basket filled with food. The staff is very friendly, helpful, but not too pushy. Beautiful surroundings to sit back and enjoy while you eat your lunch. more

Our party of six arrived for the tour of the estate expecting to be bowled over by the originality and beauty which we expected from Boschendal. From the outset it was clear we were going to be disappointed...the wine was below average...the service was poor, and we were subjected to the tour which closely resembled a factory visit. Due to... more
